Hey! This was a very nice thing to wake up to.

I’ll bet Giles doesn’t go on like this in his Watcher’s Diary.
I'll bet he does it in his personal diary.

I love the kiss. Kiss and run, bless Giles.

When Sasha's in hospital, Giles' guilt seeps through even without Xander realising it. Lovely. Especially

I tell him this when he shows up at the door on Sasha’s room. He says he knows.

You know that look that someone gives when all the past slights of the world were about to be vindicated. Well, it was on Giles’ face right before Sasha pointed out that I’m old.
Heee! Yes, he is.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for all the nice comments. It made a very nice start to my day as well.

When Sasha's in hospital, Giles' guilt seeps through even without Xander realising it.
It's so a part of Giles that it pretty much slipped past me as well!

I love the kiss. Kiss and run, bless Giles.
I think Giles probably 'Oh dear Lord'ed his way back to the Council building (and then wrote about it in his personal diary)

Glad you enjoyed it!

October is my favorite month! I love reading new stories about Giles and Xander. This is just so fun and wonderful. Scoobies: The Next Generation (Sorry, had to go with the Star Trek reference though that'd probably be more Andrew than Xander.)

I really really loved this. And I'm wondering if Giles does go on like this in a diary--though not the watcher's diary. Too much emotion in our Giles for him to let it bleed over into the diary of a staid watcher. He is old school in that I bet.

Giles probably has three diaries - his watcher's diary, his personal diary, and his super-secret I (Heart) Xander diary.

I'm really glad you loved the story. Thanks so much for reading!

I just adore this all to pieces. All your details, the world you build and the two of them and the glasses-polishing-- twice! Such happy reading.

Any world with Giles in it wouldn't seem complete without the glasses-polishing. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for commenting (and for the rec as well!)

Oh I really liked this! Crossed out secrets about how he really feels about Giles - very Xander!

Denial's not just a river in Egypt. It's alive and well in our Xander.

Thanks so much for reading!
